Dear Listener,
It’s been a while since I last posted—life has been busy with projects to finish and loose ends to tie up. Like many, I’m working to balance the demands of developing a clinical practice, engaging in self-care, maintaining work-life harmony, and pursuing personal growth—all while keeping this space alive.
Amid my own timeline, I’ve noticed a broader theme: Time itself feels as if it’s speeding up. Each day seems denser, packed with tasks that demand swift action and constant adaptability. Perhaps it’s just me—or perhaps it’s something we’re all feeling.
We’ve made it through the elections, leaving half the country satisfied and the other half frustrated, yet the collective noise persists. A pressing question arises both in my work and personal practice: How do we navigate the swells of rapid change while staying grounded?
As the currents grow more turbulent, I find my approach must shift accordingly. This realization inspired today’s meditation: How can we not only tolerate change but also discover an inner place of peace amidst it?
This idea subtly counters traditional mindfulness practices, which encourage observing and accepting sensory experiences as they arise. Recently, while working with someone easily distracted by inner tension, I tried a different approach. Instead of focusing on what was happening, I guided them to notice the quieter spaces within—those areas of neutrality, ease, or even absence of tension.
Using the breath as a central anchor, they scanned the body, relaxing and softening into those calm spaces. This meditation practice may resonate with anyone who struggles with distraction, a challenge more common than we often acknowledge. The guidance of another’s voice—through paced, intentional meditation—can help retrain focus and recalibrate the mind.
Over time, this process refines attention, rewires the brain and nervous system, and opens the door to subtle yet profound shifts in your state of being.
I hope this meditation serves you well and brings you a sense of steadiness in the midst of change.
Wishing you a peaceful Thanksgiving weekend
